Testing, Testing, 1,2,3....Jayli, Chapter Three: Epiphany
« Reply #150 on: March 09, 2014, 07:30:25 PM »
Quick note before I post the update:
I apologize for the long time it took. It's been pretty chaotic lately, at school and at home. I had my computer trouble, and recently I've come down with the Godzilla of all flu viruses.
I had the chapter typed up and ready to go; unfortunately, my notes got deleted AND so did my pictures for this update. Gaaaaaahhh!!!
I re-wrote it over the past week. I'm sorry if the quality isn't up to par; again, I am ridiculously sick. (Seriously, watching TV actually requires effort.) But, I think it's not utterly terrible, and I want to keep this show on the road, so here is the Cliff's notes version. Once again-I'm really sorry if it sucks.  ::)
(I plan to rewrite this someday.)


Jayli, Chapter Three: Epiphany
     Jayli here. I've got good news, bad news, and weird news.
     The good news is that there are no pictures. When the computer was being fixed, the Watcher lost them.
      Yes, that is, in fact, good news. The weird news is that I'm pregnant.
       It's a very weird feeling, by the way.
      The bad news is that I had to finally explain about everything. Ish. I'm usually pretty darn good at keeping my trap shut about 'emotions' or whatever, but Wyatt confronted me and I spilled.
        I swear, the kid should be a cop. He's a heck of a lot more insightful than I gave him credit for.
        See, we went to China. And for the first day, I ignored him.
        On the second day, we talked a little.
        The third day was spent playing kicky sack for hours and drinking China nectar. (Surprisingly tasty.)
        Then he asked me why.
       Why was I doing this.
        If I hated his mother so much, why was I still around? Why was I painting portraits? Why didn't I pull a fast one and move in with Chandell?
       So I had to explain.
       I explained about Momma, and how she had already been planning to adopt me. I explained how the plane from Starlight Shores was delayed. I told him about how having this much cash on hand kind of made up for being a pack mule. I told him that I wanted to being Mom back. I talked about the life Chandell and I had discussed having in my hometown.
       I also got to tell him that I knew. That I heard the plans to build a bed and breakfast with a ranch of some kind on it, with lots of kids. The back and forth over Appalossa vs. Sunset Valley. (I put my vote in for Sunset Valley. It was closer to Starlight Shores.)
     At the end of my incredibly long speech, I realized something.
     "Holy crap, I am being seriously selfish."
      "What?!"
      I got up from my chair and began pacing around. (We had been in living room.) "Oh my Watcher, I have been so freaking selfish! I keep thinking about how I want to get Mama-er, Mom back and how I don't want to help Peggy, but oh my gosh, you guys are affected by this too!"
      I fell back into the chair, stunned.
      Wyatt raised his hand. "Wait-didn't you just explain that you already knew that?"
     I rubbed my hands over my face. "Yeah, but it didn't really...well.....hit me until just now, y'know?"
     "Not really, no."
     I stuck my tongue out at him. "Hush, you. Let me wallow in self loathing for a moment."
       A pause.
     "So....what exactly just happened?"
     I groaned and looked at him. "An epiphany, kiddo. I freaking finally figured out that I'm helping Mom, me, Jess, Chandell, and you a lot more than I'm helping Peggy if I have this kid."
       ...........
     So yeah, then we went and WooHooed. It was awkward and I don't want to talk about it.
   Afterwards, we locked the door to that room for the next however many years, and buried the key.
     Oh, and I gave Wyatt a haircut. I'm sorry, but he looks RIDICULOUS with hair that long.
     Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go throw up.

Thanks! I've been trying to find a way to get that information into the story.

Hope you get better soon!

Can't wait for the baby!

I'm much better, thanks. :)

Testing, Testing, 1,2,3....Jesse, Chapter Three:Chaos
« Reply #159 on: March 14, 2014, 08:33:22 PM »
Jesse, Chapter Three: Chaos

Isn't that the name of a movie somewhere-oh, we're recording? Okay, okay.



So, Wyatt went back to his teen style. Or, rather, Jay forced him to go back to his teen style.



She is also ridiculously hormonal.

Do you know how hard it is to be the cook when you live with a pregnant woman?! Every twenty seconds I get, 'Hey Jess, could you make me some mac and cheese?' 'Jesse, I need a cheese steak. NOW.' 'Can I have some stu surprise? With sugar on top? And some pickles, or lime juice, and some paprika would be nice.'



Then, while I am trying to obey the Hive Queen's wishes and slave over the hot stove of eternal suffering, she gets bored with waiting and goes off to sculpt Guillermo.



He's actually gone pretty sculpt-crazy himself. We might need two of those stands soon.

He and Peg are spending lots of time together in between Peg's 'pollination efforts.' She goes around town chucking procreation elixirs and love charms every which way. Oiy.



It got especially weird when she accidentally doused Chandell's parents..........

Speaking of Dell, she, apparently, speaks fluent Spanish, and has been teaching it to Georgie.



Wyatt and Li have been helping with teaching Georgie her lessons. Although, I'm a little surprised that she was able to talk, with four very different people teaching her.



"Me gusta los libros."



"And that is how PlantSim babies are born."



"Okay, if Peggy comes in here, remember to make the face I showed you."

Wyatt just likes to listen.



Oh, and tell her a bunch of nonsense about 'peace' and 'kindness' and 'baby animals can solve all your problems.' Extortion/threats/bribery work too!



Weeeeelll.....and ambushes. Those are my favorite method of attack. 8)


Oh, yeah-so, Georgie is actually very creative. Her imaginary bear is named Evil McFluffenstien. He wants total world domination and cookies. Oh, and he wanted to go to the festival on Spooky Day, so we all headed out there.



Li is helping to nurture that creativity in her. She likes to show her pictures of famous artists and sculptors, and explain the different things between them that make me want to fall asleep. (This was taken before she was pregnant)



She's also helping Guillermo with his sculpting, so he doesn't hurt himself. In fact, she taught everyone a very valuable lesson:



Sculpting can help induce labor!

"Soooo.........is this gonna be a home birth, or?......."

"There....is no way....in Barnacle......flipping Bay.......that I am doing this without pain killers." She said through clenched teeth.

Then Guillermo noticed and started panicking Spanish!



"Dude! You speak it too?! I thought it was just CD!"

"You.....are.....an.....idiot." Jayli panted. "'Scuse.......me." She waddled out the door.

"Okay, bye!"

When she left, several things happened.

One-Wyatt figured out what was happening and rushed to the hospital.
Two- I went to work.
Three- Chandell realized that there was no nursery for the baby.



It might just be my fabulous talking, but that is WAAAAY too much blue. Kid, I promise to re-design it when you age up.



They came back home four 6 hours later. CD says that Jayli looked exhausted, and Wyatt looked stunned. (I was still at work.) Apparently, Jay gave her a tired smile and said, "This is Pablo. I'm going to go put him down, then sleep for a couple days. Okay?"



We had eight sims in the house for exactly one hour. On the dot.

No one even watched. We only knew because Wyatt was waiting in Pablo's room for his dad to meet his grandson; he never showed.

Peggy came home from the alchemy store and silently took her husbands grave. She also, somehow, got Margaritas. She placed them in the family cemetery, (Wyatt's property,) where Guillermo's mother and Margarita's husband are buried.



Then she released two fireflies and sobbed until dawn.



It might be a little evil, but we had Georgie's birthday when Peg got home. She became a genius.



Her hair is like seaweed. Chandell was freaking out bout it,(apparently it should be a bud of some kind,) but Georgie thought it was awesome. "I'm like some especie de extraño, mal mutante!"

"You're a what now?!"

"Dad. I'm like some kind of weird, evil mutant. It's just español." She flicked a braid over her ear, speaking in a 'like, DUH,' kind of tone, and turned back to the other adults at the table. Her legs swung back and forth while she scarfed down the cake. "So, can I learn how to paint now? Or sculpt? Not with wood, cause that's weird but with piedra-that means stone, Tio Wyatt-or metal? Aunt Jayli, pleeeeeease? Please? Pleasepleaseplease-"

"No sculpting till you're a teen." Chandell and Jay said at the same time.

"But there's fire involved!"

I high-fived her. "That's my girl! No fire yet though." Her face fell. " You can learn how to kind of cook. There's kind of fire."

"Really?! Cool!"

Wyatt laughed.



Then I got to meet Pablo!

"Hi little guy." I whispered, real quietly. He cooed softly. "You're the first kid I've held who's not green." Pablo chirped, and I grinned. "Do me a favor and age looking like your grandmama, okay? I need the cash."

There was a light tap on the open doorframe. "Hey Jess. Is he asleep?"

"Not yet."

Wyatt stepped in, and I could hear him shuffling his feet. "So, um......there was actually something I've been meaning to ask you."

For a moment, everything stopped. Was it the ques-

"Did you take out the trash?"

I glared at him and snuggled the baby some more. "Yes. Yes I did, you annoying wombat."

"Okay." He just walked towards the door like it was nothing! Like he didn't just raise my hopes up and then crush them. What the heck?!

"Oh, Jess?"

"Yes, O Wombatish One?" Maybe I should be the one to ask. It would-

"Do you wanna get married some time?"

Thank you!! And I can't wait to see what you come up with.  :)

Thanks. She's a lot of fun, and an absolute stunner as a teen!

Fantastic update!  I bet Pablo will be a heartbreaker!

Oh, man, he's only a toddler, but he is absolutely adorable. I am really tempted to age him up in CAS, but I don't want to ruin the surprise.......decisions, decisions.


BREAK TIME


Okay, so this is an explanation of sorts, as well as an apology. I feel really bad that I haven't updated in so long, but I have had a tsunami of school work to deal with, other writing projects, and the occasional social obligation.  Due to the fact that I still have a month before school ends, I am going to have to put this story on hiatus until school ends. Not to worry; I am still playing the game, taking notes, and creating ideas. I just don't have the time to write whole, official chapters. I might upload some teaser screenshots, but don't expect any real chapters for a month or two.

Thank you, and have a lovely day.  ;D
